About Aves
Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates characterized by feathers, beaks, and wings formed from modified forelimbs. They are the only surviving dinosaurs and have evolved an incredible diversity of forms.
From the tiny bee hummingbird to the giant ostrich, birds inhabit every continent on Earth. They play crucial roles in ecosystems, including pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control.
